[today’s run: 3 miles]
We started out on our run this morning and got up the road about 400 yards and came across some cattle near the road in an unfenced field.
It turns out that these guys escaped from their usual habitation through the agency of a storm toppled tree crushing the fence. Our neighbor with the fishing pond was the owner. These cattle usually live on the shores of the fishing pond. I had seen them before. I called the neighbor on my handy-dandy cell phone.
I went on a bit further, for a 3 mile run. Then I came back and changed my clothes and participated in the round up.
I’ve never worked with cattle before, but it seemed to go Ok. The owners opened up a section of fence and the first two cattle were put through quickly. That left three more. The next two went in a bit less easily. And the last one was wiley and it took us three attempts to get him through the opening. But we did.
I came home, cleaned up and went to church, arriving a bit late.
Then in the afternoon my son and I went fishing in their pond and caught 7 bass.
